Form & Verdict
Races prominently but not last time when never involved over 7f; this trip is a much better fit (C&D winner) and getting the visor back on (absent last three races) is a further plus; possible.

Danehill Star

9st 4lb

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

Improved his AW strike-rate to 6-29 when justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in March; record of 0-8 on turf but he ran some good races on fast ground last summer and he's in the mix off only 2lb higher than last time.

In good heart at present and landed his fifth AW win at Lingfield (1m2f) last month; second on his last two starts and holds obvious claims with Billy Loughnane on board for the first time.

9st 9lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: David Evans

Currently 1-33 and the fact he's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter ten times tells its own story; will again be popular under Rossa Ryan after a solid second to Arlecchino's Rex in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago though.

Her first placing in eight attempts when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces over 1m here recently (raced prominently); chance if building on that and staying this far.

0-10 but she's finished close up here in her last three starts, including two handicaps (1m/1m2f); hard to rule out another good run but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are more persuasive; tongue-tie added.

Form & Verdict
Mostly consistent since joining James Owen but the wins have come in classified races (1m3f/1m4f) and this should be tougher back in a handicap; still rates as a likely contender in current vein of form.

Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race.
